Jimmie Fails is trying to hold onto a sense of home in San Francisco. His parents are MIA, his old house is now lived in by others. He flops with a friend, while searching for home— both literal and existential. A dreamy, elegiac tale of self and safety, being and belonging, and a poignant and sweeping story of hometowns and how they’re made—and kept alive—by the people who love them. USA 2019, 121 minutes, rated R.
Introduced by Bill Batson (Nyack Sketch Log), who will be available for further discussion after the film.
